Description
In 2007, a little by chance, the farm of Montaquoy becomes owner at the foot of the mountain of Alaric of a small plot of land, a jump from the village of Fontcouverte. There is a masure in poor condition where one can read a date of construction (1783) adorning the façade. The house is surrounded by high walls, a closed surrounding 2.6 hectares of vines. In cassini's map dated 1778, the place bears the beautiful name of the Orte (in Latin: the source, the renewal or the beginning) The vine is unfortunate, poorly maintained, but it has an asset. Thanks to the source of Fontcalel, the plot (quality: "merlot petit grain" planted at 2 x 1.25 m) does not suffer from water stress, even in the heart of the scorching summers of the South. Soil analyses have begun. The rehabilitation work lasts 3 years. The first harvest (a few rows of vines, just to see) will take place in September 2010
We would be delighted to welcome you to make you discover the estate and its history and the work done to develop our wine!
Looking forward to seeing you again

The three plots of Chante Cocotte are located on geological map No. 1060 listed capendu in two separate areas southeast of the village of Fontcouverte. The first quaternary issue, of superficial formation is annotated in C.F. slope formation: colluvion and valley bottom alluvium. The second, where our 100-year-old grenache and maccabeu vine is located, on a land of travertine (marble) and white marl reduced to pebbles and dust. The whole is placed to the south-east of the mountain of Alaric from which have descended, over the millennia, these colluvions of valley bottom mentioned above. This mountain stops the winds coming from the sea, moistening the foliage at the same time (the Mediterranean is 18 km as the crow flies). The Alaric is also a barrier to the prevailing northwest wind (the cers). The stream of the Jourre and the source of Fontcalel cross the landscape, the basement is cool and well drained. Water stress, a common lot of the region, is unknown in Chante Cocotte. See less
